"Teaching and Teachers; or, The Sunday-school Teacher's Teaching Work and the Other Work of the Sunday-school Teacher."<br><br>The special characteristic of this volume on the Sunday-school teacher's work, in contrast with the many other books on the same general subject, is its attempt at completeness in a systematic order, with the avoidance of purely technical terms. Its style is adapted to the ordinary teacher's comprehension, and its aim is to be readable; while the whole structure of the work is based on sound philosophical principles. The writer has had some advantages for this service, in that he has had not a little experience in Sunday-school teaching in both church and mission schools, in city and in country, and has long had occasion to study and to write on the principles and the methods of teaching. - Summary by Preface
